I write reports, articles, briefs, blogs, & op-eds, turning complex data into clear, action-ready evidence.
I am a development economist and impact evaluation professional with over five years of experience turning complex data into actionable evidence for governments, NGOs, foundations, and socially impactful businesses. Since 2025, I have consulted for 3ie, conducting evidence synthesis, reviewing hundreds of impact evaluations, assessing risk of bias, and supporting project management and report writing. At the Cameroon Economic Policy Institute, I manage a team of 25 researchers and experts, oversee policy briefs and technical reports, facilitate workshops with policymakers, and lead grant writing. My evidence-based advocacy contributed to CEMAC’s ratification of the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System, the creation of an SME AfCFTA support program, and expanded bank credit lines for intra-African trade. Previously, I led a national COVID-19 vaccine acceptance study for the Cameroon Red Cross, managing up to 48 staff and a budget of approximately USD 60,000 across nine regional capitals. I am a PhD candidate in Economics with AERC and the University of Yaoundé 2, J-PAL-certified in RCTs, and trained in quasi-experimental methods. I have mentored more than 25 young scholars, teach statistics and economics at UCAC, and co-founded Kalar’r and Diomzen Magazine. I work fluently in English and French, thrive in entrepreneurial settings, and am open to work remotely as well as to relocate anywhere in Africa where my work can maximize social impact.
